Just For Today I Will Try To Live In Conscious Contact With God

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

Our lives matter to God. The details of our day are important to him.  He wants to give us direction.  He wants to support us and protect us.  God enjoys spending time with us and He is pleased when we spend time with him.  God enjoys it when we “chat it up” with him.  Until we realize how much God loves us and cares about the details of our lives, we won’t want to pray to him.  Until we sincerely believe that he has completely forgiven us, we will be ashamed to face him.

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.  This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. (1 Chronicles 16:11, 1 John 5:14 NIV)

F Find a place where you can be undisturbed and free from distractions.

F Tell God your thoughts and feelings.

F Listen carefully.  God has messages for you.

F Share your day with God as you would with a friend confiding in Him your experiences as it progresses.

F Review your day with God.  What went wrong?  What went right?  Ask for forgiveness and make amends as necessary. 

F Ask for any needed healing. 

F Ask God for knowledge of his will for you and the power to carry it out.

I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. (Psalm 17:6 NIV)

No one understands and cares for us more than God.  Only God has the wisdom to give us reliable direction as to how today will fit together with the past, the present, and the future He has planned for us.

Prayer:  Loving God, I am so grateful that you care for me and are interested in the details of my life.  Thank you for the strength and courage to walk in Your ways as You reveal Your will to me.  Amen
